    I agree with you there. Where do you think he would rank if he knocked out Leonard and Hagler. Top 10 or contender for best?

    Hearns boxed Sugar Ray Leonard ears clean off until he gassed in the 13th and 14th.


    No fraud does this. None. And there is not a fighter today at 147 who would be able to last more than 8 Rounds with him.

    He also had a slight stamina issue. But with a better chin I don't know of anyone who could have come close to beating him, considering his absolute skill level which was only overshadowed by the fact that he had one of the P4P hardest punches of all time.

    Oh No sorry, especiaaly Mares who just lost freakin fight :patsch

    He can still be a greater fighter, if he moves back to Bantam, becomes undisputed, makes 25+ title defenses, that puts him ahead of Hearns

    I don't know about Khan & Cleverely but they are decent fighters, no longer ATG prospects imo

    Hearns jaw only got exposed at the top level and even then it was in wars, at no point was he banged out in under a minute by the likes of Prescott.

    Mares is a very good fighter in fact he has it in him to be potentially be an all time great and I believe he can come back and possibly beat Gonzalez. Hearns is an all-time great and Khan and Cleverley should not be compared to him.

    Ask Marvin Hagler if he thinks Tommy Hearns had a glass jaw. The 3 round fight of theres was one of the greatest ever
